The more we reflect on. this subject, the more we are convinced of the necessity of a THIRD lIEATRE, of a mode rate sire, -andl 41, lower prices. At present, Per formers of great. talents are at themetey of Ma nagers, who, from caprice, selfiibuess,.: or re 7 venue, may exclude them from public notice and protection.

The public mho', therefore, Suffers - deterioration, and a bad taste is establish ed. The lines addressed to GARItICK, • - " A nation's taste depencla un you, • " Perhaps a nations virtue too," are applicable' to all PATENTEES, and if the PA- - TENTEES should Hot exercise their powers With judgment, treste,.and liberality, Patents should be wanted t'o others. The subject is now become interesting and important, and absolutely demands the notice of• the Legislature. We are led into these remarks by the nature the piece which Was brought fOrward last night-, at Covent-Gar den Theatre, atter one of the 'finest works of one of the noblest bards, Romeo and Juliet, had been perforned; and well 'performed altogether. The new piece was the old nursery tale, which was presented under the title of The Marquis de Cara&as, or Puss in Boats. It is needless •to enter into a stuiy So• well known, and which Would not be worth telling if it were a HOvelrY. Much expense had :been lavished oii this piece, in scenery, &c. a proof that there Was little discretion in those who could hazard so much expense upon such a piece, 144 the success must Of course be doulithil. Ir was lamentable to see such' melt as LasToty,, EMERY, TokELY, and BLAtsenattb disgraced, in being ob liged' to 'support such trash.

As spoil as the clouts were opened, on Friday morning, the Corirt filled with people anxious to hear the trial. .13:trOttGa4nam haying arrived, Mr. Anot.Pfus, opened the case in a very impreS sive manner, called Worthingtou, who, in giving his evidence, swore he hatlbecn wantonly shat at by ,Oneof the Miihnipmen ; that he had not ‘ any smuggled goods or had been smuggling; but .was.taking an_evening walk, going front one end in bial to the'other end of the town, to see a (Hemd of his, named Cottle, and that the Mid= shiPman who shot aL hiin was that Gentleinan (pointing to gobilliat(l). On his crOss-examina tiou, he admitted he had had it' scuffle with R., that had woutohd him vitit a cutlass, but still kept to his,stOry of no smuggling ; that lie tvap alone, 1t,a.1 taut seen a man of the name of Robin son and one of that of Pettit that night, arid had not told uiy one he had been met with :-and. woqndell byoneof qty d- 7 -d Midshipmen ;or that when he first met..the two Midshipmen, he ran away with his tubs, and had dropt them in au alley leading to,the workhouse. The next witness, (T.
